About the Security System
If Model Y does not detect an authenticated phone or key
and a locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds. The
headlights and turn signals also flash. To deactivate the
alarm, press any button on the mobile app or tap your key
card or key fob against the card reader located approximately
one third the way up of the driver's side door pillar.
To manually enable or disable the alarm system, touch
Controls > Safety > Security Alarm. When enabled, Model Y
activates its alarm one minute after you exit, the doors lock,
and a recognized key is no longer detected.
A battery-backed siren (if equipped) sounds in situations
where a locked door or trunk is opened and Model Y does not
detect a key nearby. If you also want this siren to sound in
situations where the vehicle detects motion inside the cabin,
enable Tilt/Intrusion (see Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped) on page
126).
NOTE: If Model Y is in Sentry Mode (see How to Use Sentry
Mode (With a USB Flash Drive) on page 130), the Security
Alarm setting is not available.
Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped)
Depending on configuration, market region, and date of
manufacture, your vehicle may not be equipped with this
feature.
The Security Alarm must be on to enable Tilt/Intrusion.
Tilt/Intrusion sounds the alarm in your vehicle if Model Y
detects motion inside the cabin, or is moved or tilted (for
example, with a tow truck or jack). To enable, touch Controls
> Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
The intrusion sensor automatically disables in situations
where the climate control system is operating when you leave
your vehicle. To override, you can manually turn the Tilt/
Intrusion Sensor on again after choosing Keep Climate On,
Dog, or Camp Mode.
The tilt/intrusion sensor automatically re-enables at the start
of every drive cycle.
NOTE: The Tilt/Intrusion alarm must be turned off to use
Cabin Overheat Protection (see Cabin Overheat Protection on
page 136).
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that moves inside your
locked vehicle, remember to turn off
Tilt/Intrusion. If this
setting is on, any motion detected inside Model Y activates
the intrusion alarm.
NOTE: If Model Y is in Sentry Mode (see How to Use Sentry
Mode (With a USB Flash Drive) on page 130), the Tilt/
Intrusion setting is not available.
